Johnny Knoxville Blogs About Ryan Dunn

"I felt 34-percent funnier when I was with Ryan, but I guess everyone did," says 'Jackass' star Johnny Knoxville, in a new
blog post dedicated to his late co-star, Ryan Dunn, who
died behind the wheel of his car last week.
Knoxville, 40, says he had a difficult time expressing himself at Dunn's memorial last week and wanted to take another crack at it.
"He had such a hair trigger laugh reflex," Knoxville recalls. "And it wasn't uncommon that he would fall over from it."
He adds, "Sometimes I would fall with him, because his spirit was very contagious. He wasn't incapable of seriousness, though. Ryan was a great listener. If you were having troubles, he was always someone you could go sit down and talk to. Granted, most of our sitting down was actually standing up playing pool together, but he was always there if you were sad about something. That's why all this is even harder because right now I really need to talk to him, but I can't."
Knoxville continues: "Ryan also had an enormous capacity to love. His friends and family got a lot, but a lion's share of that went to his sweet and beautiful Angie. If he wasn't with her he would be talking about her. More times than not he would smile wide through that filthy ass beard of his and say something along the lines of, "How did I ever luck up and land her?" Well, it sure wasn't because of the way he smelled that's for sure. (Dunn despised water and rarely bathed.) It was because he had a pure, open heart, and many other qualities of which I am writing about now."Knoxville goes on to say how difficult it was to wake-up his daughter Madison and tell her Dunn was gone and how upset he is that his young son, Rocco and soon to be born daughter will never know him.
"I'm hurting!!" concludes Knoxville. "We all are because we loved you so much and now you're gone. I know your spirit lives on in me, Angie, Bam and everyone you touched, but that's pretty tough to see right now through the tears. I'm starting to ramble now, just like I did at the memorial, so I'll stop. You'll have to excuse me, I'm just very sad because I lost my brother and my world got about 134-percent less funny. I don't know what else to say right now, so I will close with I love you, Ryan. I have a lot of emotions swirling, but I want you to know I love you so very much."

Where is your heart some of you people?! Yea what he didnt wasnt right,but it was an "Accident" its not like he meant to loose his life. The way Johnny Knoxville describes him,was he was a super happy,loving guy that he didnt want to lose his life! Yea some of you dont agree and you think he's selfish,but really your the one thats being selfish because all you care about is what YOU think! Maybe if you opened your hearts up a little more,you'll see that its not always what you think,there are other people out there that go through a loss quite a bit these days,but have a least some sympathy for them. Even if you dont care about them,thats what God would want from you.
R.I.P Ryan Dunn

Okay.....I personally thought Ryan was very personable and funny. Yes, he made some bad choices that night. But, it s NOT for us to sit and judge him. That is for the creator. Enough said. RIP Ryan and Zachary

It's sad to hear that 2 people lost their lives. I have a lot of sympathy for the family and friends. It's a shame that in this day and age people still drink and drive. Unfortunately, this is yet another accident that could of been avoided and unfortunately, no one will learn from it; there will still be people drinking and driving. This guy was a 34 year old grown man and he was partying and then drove and not only drove but drove at well over 100 miles an hour... just plain stupid.

BOOOO, CHRIS IS A HOMO
I watched the Jackas series first time last year and downloaded them all. I watched with my 15yo son and gave us a great time ! Not sure why I feel at a loss, driving drunk is on my book of wrongs but I never want to loose the spirit of having fun in life. Thanks for the joy

And ML, you are one of those irresposible parents who doesn't care about raising a mature, functioning, postive member of society. This planet does not need ANY MORE parents like you who think behaving like an idiot is BONDING!
Raise your child! NOT a friend!
AKQ, mind your own f-in business
What Johnny said was so heart full and sad to know he left such small children behind. I know most people do not agree with having sympathy for breaking the law in such an idiotic way, but in the end Ryan got punished for it and speaking from experience; it doesn't matter what someone you really love does. You still will love them and mourn for them if they are not there anymore making the mistakes you begged them to not make in the first place. 'R.I.P.'

Although I do feel bad for his family and friends I have NO pity for him. This was not a mistake. He CHOSE to drink and drive. Choosing to drink and drive is not an accident it is a choice. he made the choice to put his life and the lives of others in danger. I also place the blame sqaurely on the shoulders of the "friends" he was with when he decided to leave after drinking. They CHOSE to allow him to leave drunk.Once again to his family and friends I am sorry for your lose and to those that allowed him to leave DRUNK you are equally to blame for his death.
